Trade/technology embargoes and sanction regimes are just such things. For an example how arbitrary those can be, the US sanctioned a German port for participating in NordStream 2 construction — and that project had zilch to do with the US, even its financing was done in Euro, not USD.

And the US somewhat regularly declines its visas to the UN representatives it doesn't particularly like. So?
In any case, an international organization (and its members) is not automatically outside of the jurisdictions of the country (countries) it's physically in; if such a need arises, the governments have to pass specific laws regarding those specific organizations and its members, granting some sort of immunity or another. Or they just don't, and the organization simple has to function as a non-profit multinational.
